I'd go a fertility specialist and get your FSH, estradoil, etc...hormones checked.  That's the best way to find out about your ovarian reserve.  Apparently the quantity of your eggs diminishesin late 30's, as well as the QUALITY of your eggs.  Old eggs often don't have the capabilty turning into a viable pregnancy (I'm dealing with this myself, I'm 40).  

Your best option would be using donor eggs from someone in their early 20's.
